This document contains templates for conducting and recording the results of the Rorschach inkblot test, including: a profile sheet for the subject's information, response sheets to record reactions to each card, a summary sheet to calculate scores on location of responses and determinants, and sections to record content categories and pathological signs. Interpretation of the findings is discussed at the end.
